Joe Hardy @blokeonwheels.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I think deep down, most of us thought about making the move away from Musk as soon as he took over, we were just waiting for a truly viable alternative, it seems we've found it. 6073969
Pauline Harrison @paulineharrison.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I left as soon as he took over. Nothing good was ever going to come of that. 000
IFIDIDNTRY @saracheri.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Exactly. most of us saw the writing on the wall at that point..just a matter of time. I was fighting with myself every day to pull the deactivate plug. I love it here..like the first days of twitter before that evil weirdo bought it. 000
Stevie English @stevedean.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Yeah, definitely in my case, Twitter account deleted. Many of the accounts I followed have come on over, It's like a breath of fresh air here at the moment. The Bluesky team is somehow handling things incredibly, considering the exponential growth. All credit to them. 000
Lisa 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🦘 @makingmeals.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I’d thought about it often, opened this account but went back. This time I’m done and closed my account. Felt like an abusive relationship. 000
Mootable Jack @jackmoxley.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Same, I dipped my toe in various social media services over the past year, although avoided threads, hoping for something to push everyone over. I hate myself for playing sheep. 000
Krystal 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! 🌊I WILL RESIST!💙 #Epstein 🚫ICE @dragong1rl.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Exactly! 000
Mark Fitz @markfitz.bsky.social · 17/11/2024It’d be a sad day if he buys this place. Just cos he can. 000
CJ @hampshirebus.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Yes, a viable alternative that is very similar to our olde style #Twitter. Like shopping in a different supermarket to the usual but realising that they all sell groceries but in different ways & you pick the one you like best. 100
queenofthenorth95.bsky.social @queenofthenorth95.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I still follow you on X twitter but I’m blocked 🤣 iPhone but this place seems nice so far! X 110
Johnny Halliday @johnnyhallydaye.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I remember we both went over to counter social...that didn't last. 100
NormandieCJ @normandiecj.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I thought he'd just get bored with Twitter and move on. I didn't realise his secret plan was to leverage it to become the fourth Mrs Trump - Elonia.* *not my invention, far too witty 060
Kath Coyle @mrscoyle.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I had a few people DM me about joining this place. I hung on and hung on until this week when the mass exodus seemed to kick off. I'm still over there, and l will be for the foreseeable, unless something major happens. I've got a foot on each side, so to speak. For now. 000
Jock Tamson @jocktamsonsbairn.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Agreed but he is still able to sell cars somehow!?🙈 000
Urgo, confused and needing cake... @urgocakelord.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I struggle with change and was really edgy about possibly losing all the wonderful people I'd found. I joined Twitter just after my ADHD dx and it was originally a massively positive experience so I just hunkered down & hoped. But I finally had to escape b/c it was so stressy over there. 🤷 000
Jay Doyle @weateallthepies.com · 16/11/2024It's a numbers thing too, it needed an exodus to make it work, and popular names. Mastadon was looking like a good alternative but it didn't seem to pick up like this did. 210
grooveafan.bsky.social @grooveafan.bsky.social · 16/11/2024You don’t follow me here though like the other it got manky place 😞 it’s much better here. 000
HelenRushby @helenrushby1.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Exactly! Musk had broken Twitter and many had stopped using it but we needed a new place to chat and meet up. 000
Kath M Cymru @kathmcymru.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I set up an account here quite early on, but quickly gave up because there was very little content. The equivalent of turning up to a party before guests really start arriving. I have returned and it is much better now. 000
FourQ ♿ 🇵🇸🏳️🌈✊🏿🏳️⚧️ @fourq.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Very true. Signed up at Mastodon but didn't really use it. That particular one is no longer there. I stayed because of the disability community and a few accounts. Signed up here early too, didn't use it as there was nobody here. It's time to take here seriously I think. 000
Steve Smith @stevesmith1519.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Good to see you, Joe. I think you're right, and I'm looking forward to renewing friendships over the next weeks. All the best. 000
andylandyl.bsky.social @andylandyl.bsky.social · 19/11/2024My thoughts exactly. I knew he would ruin it. 000
John Topham @johntopham.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Yep, I set up mastodon, threads & bluesky accounts and waited to see which I preferred - and which my friends were moving to. 110
evil🦉Imp @evil-imp.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Absolutely Joe. As soon as he took control, it nosedived down there. I’m seeing posts from all sorts of interesting people I followed over there and never saw anymore. I was bombarded by shite from Lozza Fox and the Muskrat instead. 030
Frances J Beecher @fjbeecher.bsky.social · 16/11/2024media.tenor.coma man with a beard is pointing up with the words he 's right you know written below him .ALT: a man with a beard is pointing up with the words he 's right you know written below him . 000
Roland Hoskins @rolandhoskins1.bsky.social · 17/11/2024We need to try and protect Bluesky from the influence of Musk and people like him. Are the owners of Bluesky up to it? 000
Allan Paterson #FBPE FB99% #UBI #YNWA 🐟 @allangpaterson.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Reach was the issue for me but that is being fixed with 1 million actual users per day now 😀 020
anneg51. #FBPE @anneg51.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Have had the bluesky account for ages but only really starting to use it now. Feels a lot more relaxed and not bombarded with adverts so far. 000
Captain Zarmband @stelladebris.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I think we were just waiting for enough people to shift all at once to make it worthwhile 010
Newton Grunnion🇬🇧🇩🇪🇪🇺 @newtongrunnion.bsky.social · 16/11/2024For a while Twatter was a shit sandwich, then it turned into just shit without the bread (and also Musk has now turned full fascist). 150
smorman.bsky.social @smorman.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Yes, I couldn't get my head around Masterdom, and I know I had applied for the Bluesky waiting list months ago, then forgot to follow it up. But this is great. I am only on twitter because of the group chats I'm in. 010
Antrim Coast Tom, in London 🇮🇪🇮🇹🎹🇵🇸𓂆صمود @tominkilburn.bsky.social · 17/11/2024"...seems we've found it" but probably not forever. 000
Betty Jane @bettyjane.bsky.social · 16/11/2024It's much nicer here isn't it. I closed my X account and believe I will catch up with contacts from there over here in the fullness of time. It's also great not having to constantly scroll past Temu ads! 😁 010
Alex VI @avazig.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Absolutely. I tried out mastodon and threads, and neither one was good enough. I came here and it took a year before it gained enough traction. 010
John Ranford FB99% @johnranford.bsky.social · 17/11/2024That's exactly my position. Blue Sky is now my default. 000
Si Parallel Universe MDANT ☘️🎬🎶🎨🎭⚽️ @siparalleluniverse.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Indeed Hopefully we will get back all the features musk took away too 💯 000
Hollie H @hollieh.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Tbh, I was hanging on in the old place watching it get more & more boring - seemed to get to a tipping point this week so have picked up this place again. But her feels like going to a party where you only know 2 people. 000
